To prospective students interested in geochemical research:
I am currently accepting high-caliber undergraduate and graduate research students in my lab!
For UNL undergraduates: There are several ways you can gain research experience as a student! With faculty approval, an advanced student can enroll in Independent Study credit for a semester; this would allow you to work on a research project while receiving academic credit for your work. Alternately, it is possible to apply to the UCARE program for summer or full-year funding to work on a research project and receive a stipend (and please note the UCARE application deadlines). Occasionally, a funded research project can also support an undergraduate conducting research hours during the summer or the academic year. If any of these opportunities interest you, please contact me to set up a meeting and discuss your background and interests. Note that I can only supervise a small number of students each term, and I will consider each student's experience, past grades, and strength of interest.
For prospective graduate students: I would be happy to hear from prospective masters or doctoral students who have strong academic records and are interested in pursuing petrology, geochemistry, analytical chemistry, and/or computer modeling research towards a graduate degree in geology. Please contact me by email to tell me a little about your background and what projects would interest you for research; that way I am aware that your application is to be expected. I can also inform you about my current funding status for graduate students in the upcoming year (i.e., whether there are any unclaimed research fellowships in my program, or whether you should expect to apply and compete for a teaching assistantship in the department). You should then apply directly to the degree program at UNL. Applications are handled by an admissions committee in the department. More information about graduate applications can be found here, here, and here. A visual introduction to the university and department can be seen in this 360º video (works best on a device like a smartphone).
